The Full Lifecycle

We Know What Kills Deals. And What Creates Value After.

100+ Quality of Earnings engagements behind the work. Operator-grade QoE for sub-$2M EBITDA deals, the ones upmarket firms decline. The working-capital peg can impact purchase price by 15 to 25 percent. We model it to CCC times daily sales, defended at close, not accepted. Then the same team embeds Day 1 forward.

Deal Sourcing & QoE

Operating Partner Embedded

The QoE firm disappears the day the wire hits. We don't. CFO and Operating Partner embed Day 1 forward.

Building Long-Term Partnerships

The best deals aren't the ones that close. They're the ones where value compounds for years after. We stay embedded. We move the needle. We build the business you actually wanted to buy.
